Sunday without the Packers was a lot less dreadful then I would have guessed.
After a half-week, I finally got a shower in, much to the joy of those around me, and then I sort of puttered around the house until Lynn finished her errands and absolved me of toddler-wranglin' responsibilities, which left me with the afternoon free...
...so I skated away to an undisclosed location and REALLY got my teeth into a freelance project that's been poking its head up occasionally in the Whac-A-Mole game that is my life (I assume everyone else envisions all of the things they need to get done as varmints in a game like this, right?) Being able to devote my afternoon to this made me feel like a world-beater, like going to the gym does on some days, or finding a $20 bill forgotten in the pocket of your winter coat during the last days of the previous spring.
Like the gym, I've really got to try to do more of that sort of thing.

I just love it when I find money in the pocket of a coat I haven't worn in a while. One of the joys of life!
And yes...I do feel surrounded by varmints. Somehow though, the image that comes to mind when I picture it as a giant game of Whack-a-mole does take the edge off my crushing anxiety a bit. Me thinks I need a bigger mallet.
